Gluten-free Piecrust

adapted from Gluten-free, Sugar-free Cooking by Susan O'Brien

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups brown rice flour
  • 1/2 cup potato starch flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
  • 1/4 cup arrowroot
  • 3/4 cup shortening, organic vegetable (non-hydrogenated)
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  1. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, potato starch, salt, and arrowroot. Add the xanthan gum. Stir to mix. Cut the shortening with a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles small peas. Set aside.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine the egg, water and vinegar, and add to the flour mixture. Mix until well blended and the mixture comes together in a large ball.
  3. Place a piece of waxed paper on a flat surface and cut the large ball into two smaller ones. Place one ball on the waxed paper of the same size. Carefully roll out the dough.
  4. Carefully flip the pie dough from the waxed paper into the dish. Fill with the cranberry and apple and repeat step 3 to put a top crust onto the pie. Cut slits in the top crust to allow the fruit to steam.
  5. Place pie in oven making sure that the crust does not brown too much. If the crust begins to brown too much, place a piece of aluminum foil over the crust for the remainder of the baking time.
